CONSTANT READER.
The length Of time necessary for for
eigper (other than Mongolian) to become
q voter varies In the different states. In
New York q ten days residence only is
necessary after he has declared bis inteR-
item to become citizen. In Kansas six
months residence In the state and thirty
days in the precinct is necessary after such
declaration. The privilege of voting, how
ever, does not imply full citizenship with
all its rights and benefits, because the
United States laws require residence Of
five years after M king formal application.
The question Of citizenship is controlled by
congress exclusively; that Of suffrage by
the states

OUR MINISTERIAL VISITORS.

There are In our midst today three Oh
Hexr hundred men whose lives are being
devoted to the eternal well being Of theil
fellow men. To this exalted life-work d.

touched and tempered with the compassion
of the Father Infinite. For six days In
the week poor struggling humanity tolls
klindIy on, bsmIered by weakness and de.
pravity, goaded by appetites and passions,
the light of exalted deeds of the few being
cbscured by the sins and crimes Of the
many; the wall of the weak
and the cry of the despairipg being lost In
the confusion incident TO that selfish strug-
sle which holds the world to the rack Of
Mammon. These are the six days whose
Nights and tears, whose follies and deform-
tiles saddens the heart Of him who hopes
And prays, and, being touched with feel
Ing Of bis brothers inhrmities, mayhaps
almost despairs. In these six days no
warning voice can be heard, no staying
hand will be needed. But after comes this
blessed dsy and the tumult ceases, this day
Of sacred name and quiet peace; and as the
children Of earth stop to breathe the
seui looks In upon itself and as 1t looks
and ponders, lol whisperings Of the many
encouraging words of the divine Naza-
line falls upon the heart, intermingled with
holy memories and associations and hopes
This is the divinely named day, this the
hour when that In man which hopes and
longs for better things lies open to the
kindly touch of ye who were commanded 10

In welcoming these men Of God to our
beautiful city 1t is with no fear, therefore,
that 1t will be by them condemned, or that
on this holy day, set apart for their minis
trations. that they will find Wichita, from
their disinterested stand point, SO lost and
wholly given over TO tire wicked one as the
state authorities by their action would have

we feel sure they will, and have, found

loving the gospel, its ministers and its
truths and loving their fellow men. 1t Is

This government Is not In

other Nations" says Secretary
of State, T. r. Bayard. L
has never been the policy o.
our government to do so, but
1t lie not only the province Of
the government but Its duty tc
interfere In behalf Of its citi-
ztns when their rights are un
necessarily and without war
rant trampled upon and they
difpitefully used. If the Sa
moan Islands indignity by
German officials and the more
recent Iowa outrage BY Eng
lish are not enough to warrant
the interposiion of the gov

zeps, In the name of human
rights will 1t ever find such

instincts. It seems almost O contra
diction that one of his reputation
should be lover of flowers, but he
certainly is. No one has been in Con-
gress since l can remember, and
that's long time, with more
hearty and intelligent love for the
garden. He is a frequent visitor, and
you can see from his conversation that
he watches every new phase of the
science as keenly as he does the
money bags of the treasury. 1t seems
to be "A mental exhileration for him to
commune with these curious plants
from all over the world, and study
their hidden life. He is quite as IA
miliar with the botanical names and
the habits of plants and flowers as
most professional botanists. He
picked it up as q recreation and his
spare time is nearly all devoted to it.
"Sam Cox is a first-class botanist,
but let me add that he's also the best
reader that ever met. He is a walk
ing cylopedia on every subject cov-
cred by books. He not only has a
great deal at command, but his gift
OF rapid exploration is marvellous. If
any phase of new subject is intro
duced Cox will know enough of some
kindred subject to give him the key to
the situation, and it's really incredi-
BILE how soon he can inform himself.
Now in botany, for instance, he will
strike snag some afternoon that he
didn't know anything about, but the
next morning he'll come around with
his mental channel all bridged out.
But then, this doesn't apply to his
botany alone; it's the same with
everything else. He can learn more
in shorter time than any man l ever
saw. ."-[New York Star.

Opticians ana ocqlisss.

The man who is about t6put on his
first glasses deserves a good deal OF
sympathy. First of course, because
to realize that the earth, with its plen-
titude is becoming indistinct is about
as sad thought, next to seeing a
tottering, as ever entered ones head.
But this is not all. AS if it
were not enough for one to
lose his eyesight, the victim must
make up his mind TO be fleeced. You
and l knew that long time ago,
when mans eyesight began to fail,
he went to store and fitted on
glasses Just as he did hat. When
he found pair that suited he bought
them, and they did him service for
many year. Not 81 now-a-
days. You go to an optician, and
he has sort OF machinery which you
are hitched up to and put through an
examination. After a weary struggle
you are told that your eyes need treat
ment. No glasses will do you any
good until your eyes have been cured.
Having gained your confidence,
the optician places in your hand
the card of an eminent ocu-
list. You go there, and then
begins the torture. Blisters on the
temples and dark rooms for days and
days, and bill that wipes out a
months salary. Maybe you are told
at the expir alton of the time that you
require certain sort OF lens, and it
can only be found at certain optic
ian's. If you look closely-provided
you have any eyes left-you will dis
cover that this same optician is the
one who referred you to the occulist.
They are, of course, cases
that require this sort of treat
ment. But if a mans eyes are so bad
that they require the skill of an ocu-
list, the victim will probably find it
out as soon as an optician. l do not
refer to any optician or oculist in par
ticular. But in every city like Chi
cago you will find combinations be-
tween opticians and oculists, which
they find to be mutually advantageous
in a pecuniary way. And they work
the same for all in sight.-Chicago
